Brennan Randolph, MBA, interim president, was thrilled to announce changes for the President’s Cabinet for the 2023-24 academic year. Members of the Cabinet include:
Janet Clark, Ph.D., Provost, Executive Vice President for Academic Affairs
Karen Dyer, M.Ed., Executive Vice President for Advancement and Strategic Initiatives
Traci Tucker ’84, Chief Financial Officer
Frankie Enochs ’93, MBA, MSIT, Vice President for Institutional Technologies and Operations
Darla Hopper, MLD, FAAC, Interim Vice President for Enrollment Management
Clark and Dyer have served on the Cabinet for multiple years. Their roles will elevate this year to Executive Vice President. In addition to their focus areas in academic affairs and strategic initiatives, both have worked closely over the last year to apply for and manage several grants. Several of their proposals have been submitted and approved. In the previous fiscal year, Dyer took on additional duties overseeing Conferences and Events. Clark will begin overseeing Institutional Research beginning this academic year.
Tucker, who joined the College in April, assumed the role of CFO and Treasurer in May. “Traci has been working through a number of changes in the Office of Accounting as she leads the department to a new place of operations. Serving as a CFO is something Traci has plenty of experience with, as she served as the CFO for the Sisters of Providence for several years. She knows our community, and she loves The Woods. Traci will lead our Accounting office, and she will guide all financial matters as our Treasurer,” Randolph said.
Enochs will assume the role of Vice President for Institutional Technologies and Operations. “Frankie joined SMWC in September 2018 as our Executive Director of Information Technology and was tasked with creating a stronger culture of innovation on campus,” Randolph said. Soon after starting at The Woods, she created the 1:1 technology program, TREES, providing students with a basic level of technology. She has invested time in the College’s Information Security Program in addition to internal training that has brought the Woods community to a deeper understanding of data protection and keeping cyber criminals out of SMWC systems. Enochs will oversee the Departments of Information Technology, Facilities and Public Safety.
Hopper will join the Cabinet as the Interim Vice President for Enrollment Management. Hopper has spent much of her career in the field of financial aid and recently has served on a governmental relations committee for ISFAA. She is a certified Financial Aid Administrator. Additionally, Hopper has been the supervisor for the Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA) at SMWC for the last two years.
In conclusion of the announcement, Randolph shared, “It’s a pleasure to work with this group of professionals that demonstrate dedication to our students and employees each day.”
